last weekend i noticed some red liquid under the jeep i discovered to be coolant. i couldn't tell where it had been coming from. today i noticed my overflow tank was below the minimum line. has anyone experinced this? i have about 600 miles before my warranty runs out so what should i look for? also what kind of coolant do i need to get to put back in. thanks

Use the Royal Purple coolant additive an then fill the rest with any 50/50 coolant an you should be good to go.

I had water pump seal go out recently.
The leak was on the bottom of the pump so I couldn't see it from above, had to crawl under with a flashlight to spot it.

Dealer said they would warranty it but I didn't feel like waiting 2 days to get my JK back.
Reman is $40 at Schmucks and only took 1/2 hr to replace.

Could smell it but couldn't find it at first.
After further inspection yup water pump at 40k miles.
This is my first Jeep so I am chalking a lot of things up to "It's a Jeep thing" that would have annoyed me with other vehicles.

Just had my water pump replaced under warranty at 41,000 miles. Only saw it when I was parked on some snow in my driveway, and I let it run while I was clearing the snow off
